probably wondering what the point of all this is...

just feeling a bit nostalgic..

i miss the 70's .

i was 8 to 18 during that decade. and sports meant everything.

75 Red Sox were pretty loaded as well...funny how we can just rattle off every team who played where from the 70s all these years later.

 

[WorldNumberOne]

ya know , you can ask anybody who was a kid back in the 70's and they can name all the field players for the big red machine.

but very few of them can name more than 2 pitchers on that team.

easily the greatest offensive lineup to be backed up by one of the greatest no name pitching staffs in history .

 

[WorldNumberOne]

71 Pirates .

Sanguillen
Bob Robertson
Dave Cash
Richie Hebner
Gene Alley
Willie Stargell
Al Oliver
Roberto Clemente

One of the best outfields of all time.

 

[Journeyman]

69-70 Twins were also a very good team all the way around....nobody ever mentions those teams, the Twins had a good organization back then but a cheap owner who let all his players leave once free agency started..

62 for me too...

we used to go camping as a family during that decade with several other familys . their was 1 boy who was my same age and we knew every player for every team and all their stats .

we used to play catch for hours on those trips .

I was at all four of those games, it was a magical weekend that ended tragically... still on of my greatest memories though...I was looking at that '82 schedule last night.

Palmer vs Sutton final day of the season, Robin Yount leads off the game with a homer to rightfield and that was it.

I was there............still depressed...........I think of that game every time I hear Palmer or Sutton!

P.S. You're right though.....the week leading up to Sunday was pure MAGIC!
